The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1886/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK", and the two-line 1884/1885 patent dates are marked on the lower tang behind the trigger with the serial number at the end. Marbles Improved beaded blade front sight and a Lyman receiver mounted peep sight. Blue barrel, half length magazine and receiver and casehardened hammer and lever.

Very fine. The rifle retains 75% plus of the original blue finish with some minor scattered scratches, and the receiver showing a silver and brown patina. The casehardened hammer and lever have a smooth silver patina. The markings are crisp and clear. The wood is very good with scattered scratches, dings and pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
